![]() ![]() The Mohammedan conquest of India was probably the bloodiest story in history.įrom the time Muslims started arriving, around 632 AD, the history of India becomes a long, monotonous series of murders, massacres, spoliations, and destructions Let it be said right away: the massacres perpetrated by Muslims in India are unparalleled in history, bigger than the holocaust of the Jews by the Nazis or the massacre of the Armenians by the Turks more extensive even than the slaughter of the South American native populations by the invading Spanish and Portuguese. This puts a serious limitation to tolerance and from this strong belief sprang all the horrors of the Muslim invasion of India. This is a profession of faith of a Muslim: ‘I certify that there is no God than Allah, of whom Mohammed is the only prophet’, which means in effect: After and before Mohammed, there is nobody else…’Thus the whole religion of Islam is based on negation: nobody but us, no other religion but ours’. Pakistan and Bangladesh are their fixed deposits. Unfortunately such a sentiment holds a low position in Islamic theology. For those who are outside the corporation, there is nothing but contempt and enmity. There is a fraternity but its benefit is confined to those within that corporation. ![]() It is brotherhood of Muslims for Muslims only. The brotherhood of Islam is not the universal brotherhood of man. Today it is out of sight and also out of mind. Hindu-Muslim unity up to now was at least in sight although it was like a mirage. To talk about Hindu-Muslim unity from a thousand platforms or to give it blazoning headlines is to perpetrate an illusion whose cloudily structure dissolves itself at the exchange of brickbats and desecration of tombs and temples….Nothing I could say can so well show the futility of Hindu-Muslim unity. Perhaps the only way of making the Mohammedans harmless is to make them lose their faith in their religion. But how is it possible to live with a religion whose principle is ‘I will not tolerate’? You cannot build unity on such basis. You can live amicably with a religion whose principle is toleration. The best solution would be to allow the Hindus to organize themselves and the Hindu-Muslim unity would take care of itself, it would automatically solve the problem. Every time the mildness of the Hindu has given way. Hindu–Muslim unity should not mean the subjection of the Hindus. It is no use ignoring facts some day the Hindus may have to fight the Muslim and they must prepare for it. I am sorry they are making a fetish of this Hindu-Muslim unity. In thinking of an independent India, the menace of Mohammedan rule has to be considered. ![]() ![]() We have seen, revived, as guide in practical politics, the old Muslim religion of the sword…. The inner Muslim feeling of hatred against ‘unbelievers’ has spring up naked and unashamed…. I am of the view that Hindu-Muslim unity, which could not be achieved during the last thousand years, will not materialize during the ensuing thousand years. Today it appears that such noxious behavior has entered the bone marrow of Muslims. When Muslims first entered India, they looted the country, destroyed the temples, broke the idols, raped the women and heaped innumerable indignities on the people of this country. If we go by the lessons of history we have to accept that the goal of the Hindu-Muslim unity is a mirage. I am also fully prepared to trust the Muslim leaders, but what about the injunctions of the Koran and Hadis. I have devoted most of my time during the last six months to the study of Muslim History and Muslim Law and I am inclined to think that Hindu-Muslim unity is neither possible not practicable… I do honestly and sincerely believe in the necessity and desirability of Hindi-Muslim unity. We want to draw a veil over our past to appease the Muslims…. I had frankly asked many Muslims whether, in the event of any Mohammedan power invading India, they would stand side by side with their Hindu neighbours to defend their common motherland, I was not satisfied with the reply I got from them. A very important factor which is making it almost impossible for Hindu-Muslim unity to become an accomplished fact is that the Muslims cannot confine their patriotism to any one country. ![]()
